True, but you wanted to get it back from Richard's before they salted the roads and you are well on track for that :D

Coo we worked hard today! almost back together, just needs the marker reflectors and housings fitting, the trunk stuff putting back and a valet! not bad considering it was stripped 3 days ago!

Still to come are the trunk seal and parcel shelf and the trunk mat.

Should be home this week :D

Pics when the site is runing at full steam again.

BIG thanks to Richard and his boys and Steph for working so hard to get the car as nice as it is.

Of course, you won't actually use it and get it dirty will you? :shock: Your car is a credit to you and all concerned with the job. 8)
Just remember - increase the mileage carefully by 1/4 mile at a time :lol:
